They claim it is easy to fly, though I am still somewhat skeptical:

XPENG AEROHT has revolutionized flight control with its innovative single-stick system, enabling single-handed operation and simplifying traditional complex controls. This intuitive system, combined with autonomous flight capabilities, allows even novice users to "master the basics in five minutes and become an expert in three hours."

Not sure how much easier "flying" can be, unless it is mostly autonomous.
